"I couldn't be happier with the tile work completed by Diego at my home. He was very professional and showed up each day exactly when he said he would. When he took apart our existing shower floor, everything was rotted, moldy and in pretty bad shape. He cleaned everything out and built a new shower floor from scratch. The original shower pan was not installed correctly and water was able to penetrate the underlying wood. We were lucky we didn't have a leak to the floor below. Diego competently rebuilt the shower properly, rebuilt the saddle under the shower doors with new pieces of marble and tile I had lying around in my basement, installed new tile on the floor and lower shower wall and reinstalled the original shower doors. He even carried the glass shower doors down the stairs and out to the front yard so I could thoroughly clean off the hard water stains and mildew. We love that the shower now looks like one you'd find in a spa--so clean--and the water drains perfectly which will prevent a lot of issues in the future. Diego also replaced a small area of my kitchen backsplash that had been bothering me for years. It was originally installed improperly, so the tiles didn't line up correctly. I chose a beautiful glass tile in a herringbone pattern that happened to be very difficult to install. Diego did an amazing job and proved that he is a true artisan! He even took the time to cut small little triangles from the tiles so the spaces were not too large. The end result is perfect and I love it! I would 100% use Elite Tile for my next tile project and will recommend to my friends."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Everything went really great.  Tom was very responsive to my calls and kept me informed of his schedule as we neared the original estimated date.  I happened to work from home on the days Tom was here and when I would go in to see how things were progressing, Tom was always laser focused and I could tell he was working hard.  He definitely was not one to take his time and drag out the project to milk as much money as he can out of you.   We threw a curve ball by adding a design we had not anticipated.  Tom was honest that it could take longer than originally planned and we knew that upfront b/c he explained when we met him for the original estimate that if we were to change the design by adding angled cuts or something, that it would take longer. We were okay with that b/c we wanted it done right and we did not want to settle for something we did not love and would have to stare at it every day for the rest of our lives.   The final product was beautiful.  My wife was super happy, which in turn makes me happy.   I would certainly recommend Tom to anyone that is looking for a great tile contractor and one that is also responsive.   if we ever need tile work in the future, Tom will be the first person I reach out to.

"We are thrilled with our remodeled bathroom! It’s a small room but the team came in and transformed the space into something beautiful. They handled all aspects from tile removal and breakdown through installing new shower, fixtures, tile and paint. They were punctual, professional and thorough. Great job - we will work with them again when we start our next project."

"This is the first time that I have used Quality Tile Co., and I couldn’t be more satisfied. I received three quotes for my project, and although Quality Tile was not the lowest, I had confidence that Steve would be the best fit. The estimate was detailed and thorough, communication was amazing, all calls were returned promptly, and there was no pressure. It is worth mentioning that of the three bidders, only Quality Tile had a well-maintained, nicely labeled work van in excellent condition, which stood out in contrast to the other bidders, giving me a good sense of trust to hire Quality Tile. I was not disappointed. The installation went down on time and on schedule, the workmanship was excellent, and I am exceptionally pleased with the final results."

"They did everything. It was amazing. They cleaned up after themselves every day. They were reliable and trustworthy. The attention to detail was superb. He went above and beyond and took care of small things we had never even discussed. He was communicative the whole time and his estimate on time to finish was right on. We were so happy and our kitchen is a dream come true. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.

The lifespan of bathroom tile can be 50 years or more, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-done tile job, whether it's a new installation or a retiling project, can last for many decades. To lengthen the life of your tile, it's best to have it installed by a professional and to perform regular maintenance. This includes routine cleaning, resealing, and regrouting as needed. With proper care, you can expect your tile to last 10 years or more before needing major repairs or retiling, especially in high-traffic areas where tiles can wear out more quickly.

Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.

The rule tells you how to cut tile to install it in a corner. The 3/4/5 rule recommends that you should have 3 feet across on one straight line, four feet on the other perpendicular line, and 5 feet of length from the end of one of the lines to the other. You’re making a right triangle with the tile, and the hypotenuse (the line across from where the 3-foot lie and 4-foot line meet) should be 5 feet long.

Using caulk is one of the simplest and most recommended methods to finish glass tile edges. It creates an elegant seam between the glass tile and the adjacent area, along with a waterproof seal. With this method, you want to use a caulk color that matches the grout and, along with the grout, compliments the tile. Make sure the caulk line is smooth and even. Alternatively, you can use a bullnose or tile trimming to edge, however, that will also require caulk to seal.
